Timeline
Sheridan Founded
Sheridan began in a single lock-up unit in 1996 as an independent solid surface fabricator for small commercial projects.
Corian Quality Network
Sheridan joins DuPont’s quality network as a certified Corian installer. This trusted status allowed the company to quickly expand, starting by occupying the three adjacent units.
Moved to Ouzlewell Green
By 1998 we had moved to a much larger facility, which enabled us to expand our production capacity and product range. Within a year we also purchased the adjacent premises, which became operational in 2000, increasing our total production area to 37,000sq/ft
Tebay Factory Acquired
In the year 2000 Sheridan Granite and Marble (SGM) was established with the acquisition of a Granite and Quartz factory in Tebay, Cumbria. This allowed us to manufacture our own stone worksurfaces rather than outsourcing. We still use SGM as shorthand to refer to the stone side of our business today.
Magnet Kitchens
Sheridan begins to supply surfaces to UK Kitchen retailer Magnet Kitchens.
Lab20 and Dentop
In the early 00’s, we began sourcing quality alternative materials for the outfitting of laboratories and dental studios.
SGM expansion at Ouzlewell
Our Ouzlewell Green facility was expanded further to accomodate the relocation of our Cumbrian division. Sheridan now operates again from one centralised location.
B&Q Supplier for Speedstone
Sheridan is chosen as the supply and installation partner for B&Q’s Speedstone range of bespoke products.
Moved to New Sheridan House
With sales growing and our production again reaching capacity, we moved again to New Sheridan House which would serve as our base of operation from 2005 until the present day.

Apollo Slab Technology
Apollo Slab Tech makes it’s first appearance, as 30mm “Slab Technology”. By 2010 this would be shortened to Apollo Slab Tech, and in 2013 we would begin selling the range in 20mm in response to consumer demand.
Factory Expansion
£5 million investment made into New Sheridan House, increasing our factory to 130,000sq ft. Over 1500 wagon loads of materials were required to lay this significant expansion. This new outfitting included new CNC cutting machines and the UK’s first Breton Combi Cut.
